I am spoiled.
The last time my husband and I moved we were living in Philly and I was traveling for my job (and I’m also a procrastinator, so I definitely wasn’t using the weekend a WHOLE WEEK before the movers came to pack!) so Andy did most of the packing before the movers came.
Andy learned his lesson. The movers are here now packing.
I am a SAHM and I have a baby who has finally caught on to the whole napping thing and now takes 2-3 hour naps at a time AND I still can’t manage to pick up a finger to pack.
So here I am feeling very useless and it occurred to me, I have never really had to pack up. I ALWAYS do this. As much as I like to think I enjoy change, really, it terrifies me and I react by not eating and sleeping a lot.
I have always considered myself a strong, adaptable person… but I’m not really as strong or adaptable as I think I am. I think the only reason I don’t have panic attacks is: I just pretend nothing is happening until after it’s happened.
But, you know what? If that keeps me sane and happy and we can work around my refusal to do anything useful, maybe it’s ok… Thank you for being so strong and adaptable for me Andy!
>Hey – I'm a big believer in whatever works. 🙂 I'm also sitting here, working on my blog, instead of packing. I have entire garage full of empty boxes and tape waiting for me. I tend to push things till they just can't wait any longer and then get all panicked over getting it done in time.
Healthy right? 🙂
>It's all about figuring out how we handle/process things! Relax, the moving people are packing everything up, and you just need to sit back and relax until its time for the drive! Enjoy the weekend, see you soon! 🙂
